Upholding the diffraction limit in the focusing of light and sound

AA Maznev, OB Wright - Wave Motion, 2017 - Elsevier
The concept of the diffraction limit put forth by Ernst Abbe and others has been an important
guiding principle limiting our ability to tightly focus classical waves, such as light and sound …

Acoustic super-resolution imaging based on solid immersion 3D Maxwell's fish-eye lens

C Hu, S Xue, Y Yin, Z Hao, Y Zhou, H Chen - Applied Physics Letters, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
Acoustic waves have been widely applied in communications, medical treatment, military,
and other aspects. In this Letter, we explore acoustic imaging properties of three …

Solid Immersion Maxwell's Fish-Eye Lens Without Drain

Y Zhou, Z Hao, P Zhao, H Chen - Physical Review Applied, 2022 - APS
Maxwell's fish-eye lens (MFEL) with positive refraction has been shown to achieve perfect
imaging, but with the cost of drain assistance. This has led to ongoing heated debates about …

Elliptical generalized Maxwell fish-eye lens using conformal mapping

H Eskandari, MS Majedi, AR Attari… - New Journal of …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
A circular graded index lens is conformally transformed to an elliptical shape using a closed-
form transformation. The proposed transformation is then employed to compress a Maxwell …

Maxwell fish-eye and Eaton lenses emulated by microdroplets

VN Smolyaninova, II Smolyaninov, AV Kildishev… - Optics letters, 2010 - opg.optica.org
Despite strong experimental and theoretical evidence supporting superresolution imaging
based on microlenses, the imaging mechanisms involved are not well understood. Based on …

High refractive index electromagnetic devices in printed technology based on glide-symmetric periodic structures

P Arnberg, O Barreira Petersson, O Zetterstrom… - Applied Sciences, 2020 - mdpi.com
We demonstrate the beneficial effects of introducing glide symmetry in a two-dimensional
periodic structure. Specifically, we investigate dielectric parallel plate waveguides …

Perfect lenses in focus

T Tyc, X Zhang - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
Materials that refract light backwards are thought to be required for making super-resolution
lenses. An alternative proposal—that conventional, positively refracting media can do the …

Maxwell's fish-eye lens and the mirage of perfect imaging

R Merlin - Journal of Optics, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent claims that Maxwell's fish-eye is a perfect lens, capable of providing images with
deep subwavelength resolution, are examined. We show that the imaging properties of a …
